I remember this exact game in "Arthur's Hamburgers" in Broadway Reservoir. Used to play it all the time in the 70's / 80's.

for an old reservoir boy that my grandparents took me to eat out as a young fella in the 60's, this mention bought a tear to my eye. i cant remember the name of the pool hall in edwardes st that took many coins from us when space invaders was first released in the 70's, but just the mention of arthurs on the other side of the lines was a little trip back down memory lane, thank you :)

late note: i think it was johnnies pool hall, but i stand to be corrected as it was 30 years ago (god im old)

"Top Room" - opposite the Police Station. Had Snooker Tables, some vids and Bingos. I think Dad just operated the bingos, but he owned "Delfino's" which was just down the road. No Billiard Tables there from memory, just a wall of Bingos and Pinballs. Arthur had a very famous Hamburger in the Nothern Suburbs. Dad had Night Driver and an "Evel Knievel" type EM Arcade machine and a couple of pins as well !
